Chapter 1 :

-WTO : world trade organization , have 164 members


-Vietnam became a member of WTO: 2007
-Benefit: Tariff remove, tariff barrier is down
- GDP: Gross Domestic Product (tổng sản phẩm quốc nội)
- Trade-to-GDP ratio: (E+I) /GDP

Chapter 3:
- Relative cost = opportunity cost
- International trading ratio (ITR) wheat/cloth: 2/3 ~ 2
Ex: ITRw/c = 1.5
If US exchange wheat for cloth with the ITR of 1.6, it means US can exchange 1 unit wheat
for 1.5 unit cloth
US export 10 ton wheat, import 16 ton cloth
ITRc/w: 1/2~ 3/2
ITRc/w = 1.2
US export 10 ton cloth, import 12 ton wheat

y = Qcloth
x = Qwheat
PPF: y = ax + b

UK: A’( 40,40); B’(60,0);


C’(0,120)
We have : a.40+b = 40
60x + b = 0
b = 120
=>a = -2, b = 120
=> y = -2x + 120
US: C (0,120); A(60,80); B(180,0) y=ax+b
We have : b=120; 60a + b= 80; 180a+b=0
=>a= -2/3, b=120
=> y = -2/3x + 120
